I have never been one to be that concerned with my looks... I wear minimal makeup and most of the time my hair was just thrown back in a messy ponytail. Oh how I'll miss that messy ponytail.
Some of my best friends showed up. One friend drove 45 minutes to be there. One friend missed her nursing shift to be there. My husband was there. My son was there. My mom was there. My dad even came. When it was over... it was like the person looking back at me in the mirror wasn't me. All the way home, I kept running my hands over my head and instead of them getting tangled in my hair, all I felt with this soft, velvety stuff on my head. It actually FEELS good... I am just not used to the way it looks. LOL I mean, I went from long and blonde to super short and brown. Like *snaps* THAT.
I am posting a few pics from last night... and I want to thank everybody that was there for me. I know it wasn't easy for yall to see me go through this, but I'm glad you all did. It helped me in more ways than yall will know.
I found this on the Internet and thought it was too cute not to share.
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well, she said, I think I'll braid my hair today!
So she did.
And she had A Wonderful Day!The next day she woke up ,looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head
Hmmm, she said,I think I'll part my hair down the middle today!so she did.
And she had a Grand Day!
Well, she said,today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.
So she did. And she had a Fun Day!
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.Yay! she exclaimed,
I don't have to fix my hair today!
Attitude is everything.
Leanna, I know you are missing your hair, but OMG! Your new do looks SOOOO Fantastic on you! You have such a beautiful face!~HUGS~!!
ReplyDeleteLeanna, you look beautiful!! There's a spark in you eye and you are glowing! This post made me cry. I love the attitude thing you shared. Praying for you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks yall... I appreciate it. Losing 19 inches of hair wasn't exactly fun, but then again, its a small price to pay if it helps me to stay on this side of the dirt. :/
ReplyDeleteYour smile is so beautiful, and You very attractive with short hair. So proud you did it on your terms, not the cancer's! Positive thoughts and prayers :)

U look so cute. Hair isn't what makes you gorgeous. It's your hear and soul and your beautiful smile and eyes. You look damn good! Love ya
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!! I LIKE it!! REALLY!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a huge change, but I'm fairly sure I'd do the exact same thing. Why wait and watch it go on it's own schedule? You got the be the one in charge this way.
I vote for crazy colors of hair gel and go nuts with whatever ya' got to work with!!! :o)
Still praying for you!!
I LOVE the haircut and love that you invited those closest to you to Your event. Here's my initial assessment...BEFORE Snip!Snip! your most prominent feature was your beautiful smile. After the pearly whites had blinded, then I was drawn to your whole face as a feature; your Joy for all things great or small just shoots all through you and really becomes apparent when seeing your face. After Snip!Snip! its your Beautiful Eyes that really grab hold of anyone casting a glance in your direction. Your inner happiness is still blazing through you, but its this new style that makes me think you've put that "sweet girl next door look" down and are more "sassy/the life of every party girl". I see you now as secretly devising schemes and fun, silly little pranks while whispering and laughing with friends.
